Let me introduce y'all to a community acronym I appreciate, OTE.
OverTaken by Events.  Well I'm just now getting to my 'puter after a
pretty crazy day involving a very difficult meeting at Dancing Rabbit
that brought up a lot of hard interpersonal issues.  My
self-deprecating description of myself as a 'stubborn asshole,
unwilling to compromise' is part of my emotional processing that I'm
externalizing.  Anyway, I don't really want to dwell on it.

The important issues is that I'm not ready to start *real work* both
because I'm not really as conversant with Zope as I need to be and I
really need to just go do other things today.  I haven't implemented a
Zope interface to ack! yet.  I'm still wading through the copious docs
on tal/metal syntax of zpts and other fascinating stuff.  The more I
read, the more I think it will be a snap, but I just haven't got to
the point where I can start banging on the keyboard in earnest.  

Related is that I don't feel that I have a clear directive from the
group to start with the Zope platform.  This is just as well...

I need to postpone my availability to start work until Tuesday.  I
need today and Monday to learn Zope and make ack! and Zope play nice
together.  This will probably have an impact on the having a
reasonable feature set available by the end of the week.  Regardless
if I can get at a server with a working platform I will have at least
a subset of the features of the deadline for y'all by the end of the
week.
